Explanation 

'T'HE presentation of this playlet will require very little 
memorizing, and a minimum amount of effort. 

The two parts are really separate and distinct from 
each other and can be given separately if so desired. We 
suggest, however, that the program be rendered in its 
entirety as herein shown. Changes in names, songs and 
settings can be introduced, of course, as best suited for 
any particular place and participants. 

The first part representing the birth of Jesus, the 
glad tidings to the Shepherds, the homage of the Wise 
Men, etc., prepares the way for the second part which 
introduces the real spirit of Christmas. 

The songs herein used are found in nearly all Church 
hymnals. For other Christmas songs, recitations, dia¬ 
logues, helps, etc., see ads on the back cover of this pro¬ 
gram. 

This playlet was given a thorough try-out before 
being published and proved wonderfully effective.

Helpful Suggestions 


Decorations : The decorations should be very simple. A tree, prettily 
trimmed and placed at one side of the platform helps to satisfy the children 
and adds to the beauty. A single big bright star should be suspended above 
the platform, and if it is made of tinsel it will sparkle when the lights are 
turned on the stage only. Pine branches pinned to sheets can cover the Altar 
rail, and some larger branches standing at the back of the platform add to the 
effect. A large canvass can be spread on the floor and strewn with hay or 
straw for the shepherd and stable scene, and will help wonderfully the 
naturalness, making it easy to gather up before the play. The two rooms 
of the Harrison and Williams families can be easily set with appropriate fur¬ 
niture to which the extent of the decorations will be to your own choosing. 

Costumes: The Angels should wear white waists or shirts (they may 
be both men and women) and a sheet pinned about the neck and caught 
together under each arm makes a very acceptable costume. Bath Robes, the 
gayer the better, do nicely for the Shepherds, Joseph, and the Wise Men. 
It adds to the effect to have a bright sash draped across the shoulder and tied 
under the opposite arm, although this can be omitted. Each should have a 
bright cloth draped around the head, the ends hanging down the back, and 
the Shepherds should carry crooks. A Kimono with sash draped over the 
shoulder and extending over the head makes an acceptable costume for 
Mary. Christ may be represented by a life sized doll wrapped in swaddling 
clothes. The Manger may be made of laths in the shape of a feed rack 
with lath legs to raise it from the floor a few feet. A flash light or exten¬ 
sion light concealed in the Manger will add to the effect. The light will 
show only on the faces of Mary, the Shepherds and the Wise Men as they 
gaze with awe into the manger.

(1) Invocation: 

(2) After the invocation, a quartette in the back of the auditorium 
or balcony sings softly “Angels From the Realms of Glory/' Singers near 
the platform join in the refrain at the close of each verse “Come and Wor¬ 
ship," etc;

(3) and (4) With the room in semi-darkness, the choir or soloist sings 
“While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks by Night.’ 7 At the words, “And 
Glory Shone Around” in the first stanza, lights are switched on to the stage 
only, where three or four shepherds are seen seated or reclining on the 
floor. At the close of the first stanza an angel appears and sings the second 
stanza using the following words: 

“Fear Not! Oh trembling Shepherds, 

In Peace compose your mind, 

Glad Tidings of great joy I bring, 

To you and all mankind.” 

He sings also the third and fourth stanza while the Choir, or the soloist 
sings the fifth stanza. The sixth stanza is sung by the angel joined by a 
number of others who sing in a swelling chorus. 


From George F. Hanbee 



an-gel of the Lord came down, And glory shone a- round; And glory shone a-round. A- men. 



2 “Fear not!” said he; for mighty dread 
Had seized their troubled mind, 

“Glad tidings of great joy I bring, 

To yo.u and all mankind. 

3 “To you, in David’s town, this day 
Is born, of David’s line, 

The Saviour, who is Christ the Lord; 

And this shall be the c ign: 

4 “The heavenly bubc you there shall find 
To human view displayed, 


Ail meanly wrapped in swatbing-bands, 
And in a manger laid.” 

5 Thus spake the seraph; and forthwith 
Appeared a shining throng 

Of angels praising God on high, 

Who thus addressed their song: 

6 “All glory be to God on high, 

And to the earth be peace: 

Good will henceforth from heaven to men, 
Begin and never cease!

(5) As the angel disappears, one shepherd says to his companions, 
“Let us go now even unto Bethlehem and see this thing that is come to 
pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us.” The shepherds then re¬ 
tire and the curtain falls as the Sunday School Classes sing, “Hark What 
Mean Those Holy Voices, etc.”

(6 ) Setting: Interior of a barn, manger of hay in which lies the 
infant Christ, his Mother bending over him and Joseph standing near. The 
primary children or others sing the carol “Away In a Manger” as the cur¬ 
tain goes up.

(8) The shepherds appear and kneel before the manger in an attitude 
of reverence. One shepherd says “An angel brought us this good tiding 
while we were watching our flocks and we came with haste to see our new 
born Savior.” As he rises to his feet another says, “Let us haste and make 
known to others this wonderful thing that has come to pass.” The third

flocks while we came to Bethlehem, must needs know that we found the

go out. 

(9) After a few moments the three Wise Men from the East come 
in singing. Each lays his gift on the manger after finishing his verse.

A Christmas Play in Two Scenes 


CHARACTERS 

The five Harrison children: Helen, 15; Mary, 12; 
James, 11; Will, 8; Ruth, 6; and Carol Boyd, 16. 

Scene One 

A living room in the Harrison home, the children 
surrounded by all sorts of toys. Helen is tatting or cro¬ 
cheting. None of them seem happy. 


Ruth —I don’t think Christmas is much fun. I didn’t get hardly any¬ 
thing this year—just two dolls and a go-cart and a doll’s high chair, and a 
little stove, and four kettles to cook in. I wanted a doll house and a tri¬ 
cycle and a little piano and a walking doll. 

James —Don’t you know, Ruth, that those things cost a pile of money? 
You got no kick coming. How would you feel if you were a boy and you 
got a book and a pair of skates and a pile driver and four mechanical toys, 
when you hate to read (throws book to one side), and you don’t know how 
to skate (kicks at the skates), and there isn’t any ice anyway, and you 
didn’t want anything but a chest of tools ? 

Mary —You’d saw off your finger the first day you had your tools or 
bore a hole in the floor. I guess that’s the reason why you didn’t get any. 
You don’t catch me kicking, even if I didn’t get much. 

Will —(pointing to Mary’s gifts)—Why, who do all these things belong 
io ? Aren’t they yours ? 

Mary —Yes, they are, but you don’t call that much, do you? Only a 
purse, and a necklace, and a bracelet, three story books, and a box of candy, 
and a set of furs—that’s all. 

(Knock is heard and Helen admits Carol Boyd.) 

Carol — Hello, Helen, are you having a merry Christmas ? 

Helen —No, I’m not. I’m so disappointed. I thought sure papa was 
going to get me a half carat diamond for Christmas, but he didn’t. He said 
I was too young for such jewelry, but just lots of the girls in our school have 
them. I don’t believe that was the reason he didn’t get it. I suppose it cost 
too much. 

Carol —But it looks very much as though you had been well remem¬ 
bered even if you didn’t get a diamond ring. 

10 




Helen —Why, I suppose I can’t complain. A wrist watch, a bar pin 
(she points to these articles, which she is wearing), a five-pound box of 
chocolates (passes the candy to Carol), opera glasses, a hand painted dresser 
set, and a white fox muff. But these are all such inexpensive things. I don’t 
suppose there is a thing here that cost $25. Well, maybe the watch did—and 
perhaps the muff, too. 

Carol —Why, Helen Harrison! There isn’t one of those lovely things 
that cost less than $5 and some of them a good deal more. Five of those 
at $5, and $25 for the watch makes more than $50 spent on one girl! And 
even then she isn’t happy! Don’t you know that there are hundreds of 
people in this city who won’t have enough to eat today, to say nothing of a 
single gift ? 

Helen —I don’t know any such people. I guess they are only in story 
books. You needn’t think I am extravagant. Why, Harriet Monroe’s father 
bought her a fur coat that cost $ 500 , and she got stacks of presents besides 
that. 

Carol —My mother says it’s a shame for a girl of 16 to wear a $500 
coat. Let me tell you about some children we saw yesterday. Come here, 
Ruth and Mary, and you boys, too. I’m sure you will be interested. How 
would you feel, Will, if you didn’t have a single toy to play with? 

Will—I wouldn’t like that, you bet. 

Carol —Ruth, I saw two little girls yesterday that didn’t have a single 
doll. They had rags wrapped around pieces of kindling wood—those were 
the only dolls they had. 

Ruth —Well, I’d just cry till my papa’d buy me a big doll that goes 
to sleep and wakes up. 

Carol —But these children’s papa has been sick for a long time and 
couldn’t work. They have had a hard time to buy enough to eat and clothes 
to keep them warm. Our Sunday School had a White Gift program for 
Christmas and we’re going to take some things to them and to other families 
like them that won’t have any Christmas unless some one brings it. 

James —What are you going to take them? 

Carol —Why, a lot of groceries, caps and mittens, shoes and stockings 
and dresses. 

Ruth —Won’t you take them any dollies? 

Carol —Maybe there will be a dolly or two—I hope so. 

(Ruth goes out and comes back with two dolls in her arms.) 

Ruth —Here, Carol, take these to the poor little girls. 

Carol —Are you sure you want to give these away? You know you 
will never see them again. 


11 


Ruth —Well, I’ll kiss 'em by-by. (Kisses each doll, then shakes her 
finger at them as she lays them on Carol's lap.) Now, be nice babies. 

Mary —Carol, I’m ashamed to see Ruth give away her dollies and keep 
all mine. I have four, so Til give two of them. Will those little girls take 
good care of them? (Goes out and gets dolls.) 

Carol —I’m sure they will. 

James —Why can't we go with you and carry some things? I’ve got 
some books and tops and two balls I’d like to give 'em. 

Carol —That’s a fine idea, James. You wrap your gifts up and bring 
them to the church. (She rises and lays the dolls that were put into her lap 
on the chair where she was sitting.) We start from there at two o'clock 
this afternoon. 

Helen —I'll go, too, Carol. You've made me feel ashamed and selfish. 
I have lots of things that I have never even used, that these girls would 
think were lovely—and they are, but I've had so much I didn't appreciate 
them. 

Carol —Goodby, then, all of you, till two o'clock. From the happy 
look on your faces, I believe you’re going to have a merry Christmas, after 
all. 

Mary —Why, we sang a song in school that is just like this, but I never 
thought before what the words meant. 

Carol —What is it? Sing it for me. 

Mary —Come on, Children; let's sing it. (James, Ruth and Will 
stand up by her.) 



Oh, don’t you see that giv-ing Is just the best of liv-ing, 



When ev - ’ry - bod - y thinks of all his friends? 



If kind-ness all kept do - ing, Each oth-er’s good pur-su - ing. 



We’d have a Christ-mas time that nev - er ends. 


12 






































Carol —Fine! And it's just as true as it can be. Good-by. (She goes 
out.) 

Will —Let’s gather up our things and get ’em ready. Come on, I’ve 
got mine. (All go out with arms full of toys.) 

(curtain) 


Scene Two 

CHARACTERS 

Mr. Williams, father; Mrs. Williams, mother. The Will¬ 
iams children: Joe, 12; Ethel, 10; Henry, 8; Kate, 6. 

(Bare room; father sick, sitting in chair with blanket 
around him; mother and children poorly dressed; mother 
darning stockings.) 

Kate —Mama, aren’t we going to have any Christmas this year? All 
the girls in our room at school have dolls but me. Why can’t I have a 
teenty weenty one? (Measures a few inches with her hands.) 

Mrs. W.—Sometime we will, dear. 

Ethel —Mama, you always say that, but we haven’t had any Christmas 
for years and years. 

Mrs. W.—Hush, child, we mustn’t complain. We’ll make papa sick 
again if we don’t keep happy and cheerful. We’d rather have him well 
than to have twenty dolls, wouldn’t we? 

Ethel— Well, why couldn’t we have him well and have just one doll 
apiece for us girls? 

Henry— Say, ma, the 10-cent store has got dandy tops that sing a tune 
and they only cost 10 cents. Couldn’t I buy one? 

Mrs. W.—Listen, children, and I’ll tell you what we’ll do. Let’s see. 
Christmas is tomorrow. We’ll celebrate by having sugar on our oatmeal for 
breakfast, and we’ll have butter on our bread for dinner! Then we’ll buy 
enough meat to make a little meat loaf so we can each have a slice of it. 
Won’t that make Christmas a jolly day. 

Joe— Um yum! Hooray! (turns a somersault in his excitement). We 
haven’t had a bite of meat since Thanksgiving. Say, kids, do you remember 
how good that meat tasted, even if it was only soup meat? 

All the children —Yes, yes. 


13 



Mrs. \v. —Now, children, the sun is shining, so you may go out to play 
for half an hour. Play hard and you will keep warm. 

Kate —Mama, can Jesus hear our prayers in this poor old house? 

Mrs. W.—Why, yes, my dear. He doesn't care where we are when 
we pray to Him, if our hearts are right. 

Kate —(kneeling)—Dear Jesus, please make papa well and send me 
and Ethel a dolly apiece. If you haven't got that many, just send us one 
and we'll take turns playing, with it. Amen. 

Henry* —(kneeling as Kate rises)—Dear Jesus, please answer Kate's 
prayer and send us meat enough so we can have two slices apiece. And 
please send me a top and Joe a ball. And help us not to get cross when we 
can't have sugar or butter. Amen. 

Mrs. W.—Run on out, children. 

(Children go out. Mother and father look at each other. Mother puts 
her face in her hands, as if discouraged.) 

Mr. W.—My, it is terrible to sit here so weak and helpless and see you 

and the children want for things. 

** 

Mrs. W.—I don’t mind for myself, but to think that the children don’t 
have enough good, nourishing food and no warm clothes! Kate and Henry 
have mittens, but the rest are going with bare hands. They all have holes 
in their shoes and I’ve patched their stockings until I can’t do it any more. 
I suppose there are people who are throwing money away on unnecessary 
things—and here we are half starved. It doesn’t seem fair. 

(Children come running into the room.) 

Joe—M other, it’s too cold to play outdoors, so we’ve come in. 

(Knock is heard, Joe opens door; Carol, Helen, Mary and James enter.) 
Carol —Is this where Mr. Williams lives? 

Joe— -Why, yes—that’s our name. 

Carol —(to Mrs. W.)—Don’t you remember me, Mrs. Williams? I 
used to be in your Sunday School class. 

Mrs. W.—(to her husband)—Why, it’s Carol Boyd, papa. 

Carol —And this is Helen Harrison and her brother and sister. Mr. 
Williams, we want to share our Christmas happiness with our old friends. 
We brought you a bathrobe and some warm slippers. (Lays them on his 
lap.) 


14 


Mr. W.—Oh, thank you. 

Ethel —I’ll help you put them on. (With her help he manages to get 
them on.) 

Henry —Say, did you bring my favver a top ? 

Helen —(laughing)—No, we didn't. But we brought a pair of shoes 
and a cap for you. How do you like that ? 

Carol —I shouldn't be surprised that there is a top in this package. 
You unwrap it and see. (To Mrs. W.:) Will you accept a hat and a warm 
coat, Mrs. Williams? 

Mrs. W.—My dear, I think God must have sent you. He is the only 
one who knows how badly we’ve needed some warm clothes. 

Helen —Carol, I'm going to give these patient little girls their packages. 

Carol —Yes, do. I'll get out their caps and mittens in the meantime. 
Here, Joe, is one for you. (Hands caps and mittens to Joe and the little 
girls. The girls scream for joy when they open the packages Helen gives 
them and see the dolls they contain. Knock at the door. Joe opens it and 
a delivery boy says, “Groceries for Williams," and piles on the table a sack 
of flour and four or five other large packages.) 

Joe —Why, this stuff can't be. for us. We never get more than a quar¬ 
ter's worth of anything at a time. 

Henry —(tearing off a little of the paper from one of the packages)— 
Oh, ma, there’s a whole lot of meat. Goody! Goody! We can have two 
slices apiece. 

Mr. W.—What does this mean, Carol ? 

Carol —Our Sunday School has a White Gift Christmas every year, 
because we have found out it is more blessed to give than to receive. So in¬ 
stead of having a Christmas tree loaded down with presents for each other, 
every class brings an offering for some one who would not have any Christ¬ 
mas joy otherwise. We send the cash offering to an orphanage to make those 
poor kiddies happy, and the eatables we take to worthy families living in 
town. 

Mr. W.—Once, I'd have called this charity and refused to accept any¬ 
thing, but we have been at the end of our resources because of my sickness. 
You young folks act as if you really enjoyed giving so bountifully, so I can't 
help thinking God sent you as an answer to our prayers. 

IS 


Helen —Mr. Williams, will you let me tell you a little about myself? 

Mr. W.—Why, certainly. 

Helen —I’ve been a thoughtless, selfish girl. The last few years Pve 
dreaded to have Christmas come, because I have a number of friends who 
always give me beautiful gifts, and it was such a worry to decide what to 
give them, and to try to get something they didn’t have, and something that 
would cost as much as their gifts to me. I used to wish I could go away 
till Christmas was over. But Carol has showed us how to make Christmas 
the happiest season of the year. I don’t believe I was ever so happy before. 
So you see it has done us as much good as it has you. 

Mary and James —Yes, sir; this is the very best Christmas we ever had. 

Carol —Now, goodby, all of you. Merry Christmas. 

All the Williams Family —Thank you. Thank you. Happy New 
Year. 

Mrs. W.— (taking Carol by the hapd)—May God bless you all, and may 
you have all through your lives such blessed happiness as you have brought 
to us today.
